Chapter 109

The weather soon warmed up, the military coat was replaced by a cashmere coat, and the cashmere coat was replaced by a woolen Lenin-style short jacket.

Soon the woolen short jacket could no longer be worn, and only a shirt could be worn.

In May, the 11th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee was held.

Qiao Wei had a vague premonition at this time.

A time traveler who can't remember the years of historical events is really an unqualified time traveler.

Sure enough, in June, the front-page articles of Renri were published one after another.

The historical stage that Qiao Wei had been looking forward to finally arrived.

She held the newspaper and couldn't help sighing.

Secretary Huang came over with a teacup: "What are you sighing about?"

Qiao Wei said: "Xiangxiang was too energetic yesterday and played all the time. I also went to bed late and had a headache."

"Drink some tea, brew it stronger. I'm afraid there will be a whole day of meetings today."

The new instructions from the central government must be interpreted word by word by the people below. With such a big change, if the spirit of this instruction is not thoroughly understood, it will be a big mistake.

It will definitely be another day of mountains of documents and seas of meetings.

Qiao Wei opened her military bag and took out a paper package: "Here, this year's new tea, Mingqian tea."

"You got it so quickly?" Secretary Huang was happy and took it, "Thank you."

People who sit in the office in the system can't leave cigarettes and tea.

In June, new newspapers arrived, and the issue of abolishing the college entrance examination system was also raised. The college entrance examination is considered to be for training successors for the bourgeoisie.

Secretary Huang and Qiao Wei communicated privately: "Life will be difficult for college students."

Qiao Wei lowered her eyes: "Not only that, intellectuals will probably have a hard time."

Secretary Huang nodded: "High school and technical secondary school are the best."

Secretary Huang also has a high school diploma.

At this time, college students are rare.

Thinking about it this way, the technician that the original owner had a crush on turned out to be an excellent talent? Relying on his academic halo, he flirted with married women.

Qiao Wei couldn't help but twitch her lips.

It doesn't matter, scumbags will be punished one day.

Things around her didn't change all of a sudden as Qiao Wei thought. This change has actually been centered in Beijing and Shanghai, and like ripples, it has spread outward layer by layer.

Bocheng is still just a small county town now, not a well-known heavy industrial city in later generations.

These circles of ripples must first expand to the provincial capital, then to Lin City, and finally cover the county-level areas.

Before being swallowed and drowned by the waves, people still have to eat, shit, sleep, go to work, scold their mothers and beat their children.

But there are indeed more people wearing green military uniforms in the county town, and military green has become the most fashionable color.

There are obviously fewer bras. Lesbians rarely wear skirts to work, and more often wear shirts and pants, and their clothing has begun to de-feminize.

Wu Aizhen from the Propaganda Department came to Qiao Wei for help, and Qiao Wei helped her get a brand new military shoulder bag.

This is the most in-trend item, and Wu Aizhen carries it every day.

Zhao introduced Lin Xixi to a new partner. Sister Yang took out some blouses and wanted to give them to Lin Xixi, but was criticized.

Zhao criticized her: "Why are you wearing those? You have no political sensitivity! It's time to wear them? I don't know what the situation is now."

In March this year, Big Brother held the 23rd meeting. We decided not to send representatives to attend, and the relationship between the two parties was basically severed.

What is blouse? It came from there!

Wearing it now means you have a problem with your thinking.

Sister Yang was not convinced and grumbled: "It's a blind date, you have to dress up nicely. Pants are not as pretty as skirts. What's wrong with wearing a skirt? What if I become a counter-revolutionary just because I wear a skirt?"

Housewives are always one step behind in their understanding of the outside world. She spends all day at home by the stove and only goes between the vegetable market and her own yard. She can't feel the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Captain Zhao couldn't convince her and rolled his eyes in anger.

Lin Xixi still went to the blind date wearing pants.

Not only because Bragi is now considered a revisionist, but also because she has never been enthusiastic about blind dates.

Her uncle and aunt can't find the kind of person she wants. The ones they can find for her are still from the countryside, and the best are just young people from small towns. There are no ones even in the county town.

After such a long time, Lin Xixi finally figured out what she wanted.

She wanted to be a high-ranking official's wife in the future, without being surrounded by poverty or worrying about being fired, with a villa to live in and plenty of money to spend.

Of course, it would be best if the man was from the city, not from a peasant background.

She observed that among these officers from peasant backgrounds, there were few who were good looking, except Yan Lei and the lover of broadcaster Lu. Even with a high salary, the traces of their background were still very obvious.

Only Captain Yan and Captain Li got rid of this trace.

As expected, this blind date failed again.

Although Sister Yang wanted to keep her for two more years to do housework, it would be bad for her reputation if she failed every time she went on a blind date. People would think that this girl was too picky.

Sister Yang said a few words to her.

Lin Xixi couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you introduce Captain Li to me at the beginning?"

"Which Captain Li?" Sister Yang didn't react for a moment.

Lin Xixi regretted it as soon as she finished speaking and didn't say anything. Sister Yang asked again, but she didn't say anything, just said, "I'm talking nonsense, sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I'll take care of your children, isn't that good?"

If it really doesn't work out, she will stay at her uncle's house for the rest of her life. This is her real uncle, and she will stay there for a long enough time and work hard for his family. Sooner or later, her uncle will have to treat her as his own daughter.

She thought about it and realized that if it really didn't work out, it would be better to be assigned a job by her uncle like her cousins, which would not require her to resign, than to follow a useless man and have no food to eat.

After figuring this out, her depression was much better.

But Sister Yang discussed with Captain Zhao at night: "Which Captain Li is this?"

After all the calculations, who else could it be? Of course, the only one who is good-looking enough for a young girl to be attracted to is Lu Manman's lover, the former company commander under Yan Lei.

"Come to think of it... indeed... why didn't you introduce him to our Xixi at the beginning?" Sister Yang couldn't help asking.

Captain Zhao chuckled: "Do you think I'm blind and can't see him?" Company

Commander Li is also very eye-catching in the crowd, and he is also a presence that can be seen at a glance.

Why didn't he introduce such a good man to his niece? Is he stupid? He

declined at the time, okay?

Later, Yan Lei wanted to introduce a girl to the daughter of the director of the town supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as Yan Lei mentioned it, Li Aiguo shaved and washed his hair, and after washing and hanging up his uniform, he used all his strength to smooth it out, without any wrinkles. He went to the blind date with great enthusiasm.

Captain Zhao understood at a glance. A general

leads like his soldiers.

Li Aiguo was just like his leader, and only wanted to find a city girl. He

looked down on Captain Zhao's niece, who was born in the countryside, had no job, did housework at home, and was famous for cooking at the Xianhui Diligence Club.

The atmosphere became tighter, and there were more various study clubs.

Even a powerful person like Secretary Meng began to be more restrained.

In his position, he must know more, see more, and think more.

Including his request to Secretary Huang and Qiao Wei, it also became "be more restrained."

"The more you talk, the more mistakes you make," he said. "The wind is too confusing. Don't be rash when you can't figure it out."

Qiao Wei simply agreed.

She was particularly worried that Secretary Meng was still as stubborn as before. She was his penman. If he continued like this, Qiao Wei would have to consider finding a way out.

But now it's good that the leader is clear-headed.

The office has become a lot more idle.

Qiao Wei even started crocheting sweaters and yarn pockets in the office.

She crocheted a small pocket cup holder with green wool and a red five-pointed star in the middle, which was very popular.

Because at that time many people used various glass bottles as cups, this was very common. This kind of water cup has no handle.

Crocheting a small pocket with a handle can be hung on the handlebars of a bicycle and carried with you, which is very convenient.

She crocheted several colleagues.

These are all small items. The big ones are sweaters.

Her skills are better now. Sweaters are not all plain stitch anymore. They have patterns.

She knitted a V-neck for Yan Lei and a high-neck for Yan Xiang to protect their necks from the cold in winter.

Nowadays, not only is the braid out of fashion, but even the Lenin suit that was once very popular is no longer popular.

You know, the Lenin suit was once the standard dress for female civil servants.

It is no longer popular now.

One day, Secretary Meng started to wear military casual clothes to work.

It was brand new and obviously just got it.

The leading cadres all wore green military casual clothes and only changed into Zhongshan suits on formal occasions.

Everyday everyone lived in a sea of ​​green.

When it was cold and frosty, Sister Yang ran to Qiao Wei to get angry.

"I have to have my hair cut!" she said, "I am so old, and the revolutionary haircut is only for girls."

Sister Yang has always had a traditional bun. When Captain Zhao asked her to cut her hair into a revolutionary haircut, she felt embarrassed and thought she was pretending to be young.

Qiao Wei explained to her, "Now we have to break the old things. The haircuts we used to wear are all feudal remnants, so we have to cut them off. You see, young girls don't wear skirts anymore."

Lu Manman didn't dare to wear the red wool coat she wore when she got married last year. She put it in the bottom of the box.

She also cut her long black braid.

Sister Yang said, "I always feel like I'm dreaming outside. Why is it so sudden and so sudden? What's going on? I don't understand."

At that time, many people were in this state.

I don't know what happened and it turned out like this. But since everyone in the family is like this, I can't be different.

Qiao Wei said, "Let me cut your hair."

At that time, the main customers of the barber shop were not women, but men. Only some fashionable women in the city would patronize the barber shop. Most women can cut their hair at home.

Qiao Wei used scissors to cut a revolutionary haircut for Sister Yang.

She is not a hairdresser, but everyone cuts their hair at home, so there is no difference between good and bad.

Qiao Wei at least knows how to trim the edges, and she cuts the hair with the scissors upright to make the ends of the hair look natural. Unlike most people's revolutionary haircuts, which are neat and stiff.

Sister Yang was very satisfied when she looked in the mirror, but she still felt a little sad when she saw a long piece of hair on the ground: "I have kept it for many years."

In the blink of an eye, it is the New Year again. Once the New Year is over, it is time to prepare for the Spring Festival.

Joy was mixed into the tense atmosphere. Many people lined up with letters of introduction from their units to buy train tickets.

At that time, train tickets could not have all the information printed on one ticket. Just like when Captain Li and Lu Manman went home, each person had five or six pieces of paper tickets in their hands.

So even the most skilled ticket seller would take several minutes to sell a ticket to one person. If one person bought tickets for a family, it would take more than ten minutes.

The line was long and slow.

It cannot be said that the ticket sellers all had bad tempers.

That was the situation at that time.

On the walls of state-owned restaurants, there were signs saying: No beating of customers.

Behind every outrageous rule there must have been an outrageous incident, and the rules posted on the walls of restaurants could tell what had happened before.

Many people have finally queued up to buy tickets to go home and reunite with their families.

Many people are buying New Year's goods.

Many people are decorating their homes.

Many people are rehearsing programs and preparing to perform.

In short, although the situation is changing, no one can stop the atmosphere of the New Year.

But there are people who want to block it. In this era, there are people like Secretary Meng who realize that the wind is blowing in the wrong direction and start to hold back, and there are also people who realize that the situation has changed and they should take the opportunity to jump out and show off or stand out or just take the opportunity to do something.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, a worker at the Shanghai Mechanical Glass Factory wrote a letter to the People's Daily.

"What is the Spring Festival!"

"Why must we have a holiday for the Spring Festival!"

"This is feudal dregs!"

"We should celebrate the revolutionary Spring Festival!"

This year, the Spring Festival was temporarily cancelled, and everyone returned to their jobs and insisted on working.

Many people had to squeeze into the train station to refund their tickets, and a stampede almost occurred.

The red spring couplets were rolled up and put in the cabinet before they were posted.

Firecrackers were not set off.

The rehearsed programs were cancelled, and there was no party.

Qiao Wei really didn't know about this before she traveled through time. That period of history was originally very vague. She only knew that the demons were dancing wildly, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

This is the Spring Festival!

On New Year's Eve, Qiao Wei and everyone else are working in the office.

Not only today, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

There will be no Spring Festival in the future.

Qiao Wei, who is so calm and composed, couldn't help but curse in her heart -

idiot!
